' HAIR WAVING DEVICE Filed July 26, 1929 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 InventorC/mfiz ES 7900mm A fiorncy Patented octgzi", 1930' i CHARLES THOMAS,OEIBBOOKLYN, Yoni HAIR wAv I lilG Davies 1 a Application filed July 26,

Thisinvention relates to improvements in hair waving devices, and hasparticular ref-' erence to a permanent waving curling stick.

The primary object of the invention resides in a hair waving deviceresembling a curling iron in which the'jaw ends removably supportcurling sticksto receive the hair to be waved which is wound'thereon,whereby to allow withdrawal ofthe jaws of the iron to allow curlingsticks to remain. in the hair with the curled hair wound thereon, afterwhich the heat is applied in the usual man ner by the permanent hairwaving machine to producethe' permanent wave.

Another ob 'ect of the 'nventionf is to'provide a hair winding stick forfacilitating-the rapid andeasy winding of the hair thereon whenpreparing the same for waving.

A further object'of the invention is the provision of a hair wav ngdevice which is simple in construction, inexpensive of manufacture, andeasy of operation.

lVith these and other ob'ects 1n ;view,the

invention resides in the combination and arrangement of "parts, theessential features of which-will be hereinafter fully described andwhich are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which: I

'- Referring to-the drawing by reference charactersthe numeral 10designates my improved hair waving'device in its entirety, whichincludes a pair of coacting members lland are pivotally connected togetherintermediate their endsas at-13. The;

'members] 11 and 12 embody manip'ulatin'g handle portions 14 and 15-respecti'vely'on' I Y I 553' r one side of their pivotal connection, and

clampingjaws l6 andfll7, respectively on the opposite side of their'pivotalzaction."From the description thus far it will' be noted thatthedevice resembles an ordinary curlingiron in which manipulation ofthe-'handle me1nbers lland 15-will impart opening. and c'l' sing oftherespective' jaw 16 id- 17 aw 16 is 1 round in cross section,the'gouter end of' whi'ch' is reduced as at 20 jto ,telev. scopicallyreceive a similar shapedi tubular curling sticks in 3 the shape: shown,that round; 1n: cross section, the, concav1ty1p'rovided inthecrescentshapedstick will coact therewith i to" .ti'gh'tly "grip the hairi wound or entwined thereon as showni-nFigure' t of the drawings. g Inuse fa' hank 'of" hair is The jaw 16 is substantially crescent shaped 7Lin cross sectionas shownsi n Figure 3 of the drawing; 'andisredu'ced"as at, 18 to telescop ically receive a tubular cur-lingflstickfl19 "of'asimilar shape; The jaws lTunlike the curling stick 21;: The shouldersformed' wound-orentwined' upon the curling stick 7 and the device turnedso as to bring the cur]; ing stick close to the scalp a-ssho'wnin- Fig.ure 4; after which the jaws- 0f the pivotall'yconnected members arewithdrawn from the respective curling gstic'ks, leaving only the curlingsticks upon the head; of the 'person receiving the wave. 'lhe' hairishowprepared' for receiving the -perinanent waving machine whichfheatapplied in order 7 to seti-the' wave. -After--the wave has been formed,the. curling sticks areremoved and may be used over and over againm con-"nection with the holderv implement.

. In Figure 5 of the drawing I haveshown a niodified'form in which thenumeral: 22 designates a solid curling stick having a socket 23 inoneend thereof which receives V the reduced pin or stud, 24 of theholdermember or j'aw25.

' In Figure 6 I have shown a further modi V fied form in which the-bodyof the curling stick is shown at 26, one end of which is pro- 1 videdwith areduced stud or shank '27 split longitudinally as at 281301insertion into the; socket 29 provided in the outerrend of the law orholder element y p tingme stud 27 the same is made resilient forfrictional engagement with the? walls l a socket 29.

Patent is 1 I ture.

Figure 7 shows a further modification 7 wherein the numeral 31designates the body v V e of the curling stick which is "provided with"V a reduced shank 32 for insertion into a socket;
